Came across the perfect example of Creationist deeption. Today's headlines announce 47-million-year-old primate fossil unveiled: The story goes on to report the arguments scientists are having over the find. OK, now here is a creationist distorting the story: Another missing link or another red herring?: More ranting and raving and deception follows. Scientists have not claimed to have found the missing link. It is not a certain 45 million years old but an uncertain "some 47 million years"--even the numbers are wrong. And it is not claimed to be a monkey, in fact not even claimed to be an ancestor of a monkey. Unbelievable how deceptive creationist arguments are. Bold faced lies they are. Why would someone, supposedly with God on their side, need to lie like that? Scientists hail stunning fossil has a video of the find. |

I saw it earlier today, Chris. It's good to keep the fundies in a funk. I've noticed that breezy - or any of the fundy creationists - never answer the question of why there are ANY early man fossils. Oh, they gripe about only a few, but, by what reasoning do they come up with swallowing the fact that there ARE any at all? It would seem the existence of these fossils is a major monkey wrench in the as-yet-unstated Theory of Creation. Maybe not even a monkey wrench - perhaps a prosimian wrench.... |

Oh but the fossils were placed there by God to test their faith. God is tricky that way. |

God created everything, they say, He's the first cause, the unmoved mover. |

One of the reasons why I never read astronomy stories in the newspapers is that they NEVER get the details right. Oh, Walter Sullivan who wrote for the NY Times the whole time I was growing up in NYC, was a good, accurate writer who took care to get the details right. Today's crop? Bleech. The newspaper stories are just a place to find the topic of interest. For the meat... go to the web. |

What a hoot! I'd not seen that Rapture Ready site before and it's hilarious! We have a Rapture Index of 164 (as of May 18th) and that means we'd better be packing the china because it MIGHT happen at any moment.
The record low was during Clinton's first term in office with a reading of 57 while the record high was a couple weeks after 9/11 with a 182. Not surprisingly, I didn't notice any change in the "prophetic activity" between those dates. I'm wondering how they decided "Gog" is Russia. Might we suspect "Magog" is Mrs. Russia? The site is a hoot! |
